Get ready to uncover the covered and mention the unmentionables: Wednesday is Freshpair.com's National Underwear Day again, designated by Freshpair, an online retailer of men's and women's intimate apparel.

This year, among other events planned for the day, 20 Freshpair models will be all over midtown New York proudly clad in their underwear. They'll solicit signatures for a petition to win official recognition for National Underwear Day, survey passers-by on their choice of underwear, and invite people to show a little of their own skivvies.

People around the country are encouraged to celebrate the big day in their own way, as well as go to www.freshpair.com to sign the petition.
